To all whom t't may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY O.`BARKER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Sedalia, in the county of Bettis and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ghange-Separators, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

My invention relates to an improvement in coin-separators; and it consists in the coinguide A, having the wings l1J h and slotted apertures c c therein for the passage of the coin, the win gs also acting as chutes for throwing oft' the coin into the coin-receiver B, hopper D, and guide-supports e e, and in the combination and arrangement of the parts, as hereinafter more fully specified.

In the drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of my device. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical sectional view of the upper section of coin-box. Fig. 3 is a transverse vertical section of device on line X X, Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a plan view of coin-guide. Fig. 5 is a side elevation thereof. Fig. 6 is a section view on line Z Z, Fig. 2.

A represents a vertical frame in connection with the horizontal coin-receiver B, and secured thereto by means of the hooks and staples h and pins i. It has located therein the hopper D, the lower part of which ts flush against the coin-guide A, excepting where it forms, in connection with the coin-guide A, the slotted opening a for inclining the coin as it slides from the hopper at such an angle as to cause it to roll down on its rim while resting against the guide.

The coin-receiver B is rectangular and divided into spaces by the partitions b b, each of these spaces being intended Vfor coins of a distinct specific denomination, and each space having an inclined bottom, E, as shown, to cause the coin to fall from the hopper to the center thereof, and to facilitate its manipulation in removing it from the coin-receiver to make change.

In the vertical frame A', at an angle as shown in Fig. 2, is rigidly secured between its vertical walls the coin-'guide A, a sufficient space being provided between the lower part ofthe coin-guide and the front wall of the frame to permit the coin to run oft' the guide into the coin-receiver B. The coin-guide A is formed into a spout at b', which starts the coin upon its rim, and the coin descends, rolling down on the tlangej'.

The wings h h are rigidly secured to the coin-guide at h and h, and they are projected ont from the coin-guide at a slight angle, thus leaving a passage-way for coin between the vertical part of the wings and that part of the coin-guide to which the upper part ot' the wings is secured. The passage C', which is the largest, is adapted as to size to permit the passage of the smaller coins, but not silver dollars. When silver dollars come into contact with the win g, being unable, by reason of their size, to pass through the passage-way C', they are run oft' the coin-guide A by the outwardly-Haring wings h h and drop into a partition of the coin-receiver. The half-dollar coins, in like manner having passed through the passage-way C', are unable, by reason of their size, to pass through the passage (J, and they are run off the coin-guide A by the outwardly-aring wing h and drop into the coinreceiver. Thus the smaller coins descend, passing the larger passage-ways until they come into contact with passage-ways smaller than the size of such coin, when the Wings throw them off the coin-guide into the coin-receiver. j

Immediately beneath each wing of the coinguide is located a partitioned-oit' space in the coin-receiver for reception of a specific denomination of coin, the standards e e being designed to guide the coin intojits respective partitioned-off spaces in the coin-receiver as projected from the coin-guide. The projection ot the coins oft' the coin-guide is also slightly facilitated by the slight depressions d d', formed in line with the outwardly-darin g wings in the lower part of the coin-guide, where the coinsjump ott' the coin-guide into the coin-re- Ioo ofthe coin, and my improvement is designed spout b', and coin-receiver B, substantially as 1o to remedysueh inefficiency, and in practice it shown, and for the purpose described.

never fails, nor can it fdil to drop the coins as In testimony whereof I aX my signature in refiired. presence of' two witnesses.

5 aving thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, EEN (J' BAKKER is- Witnesses:
